Result

x =  38.217 USD

Solution:

a+15/100a=293 a=293/(1+0.15)=586023≐254.7826 USD  x=293−a=293−254.7826=87923≐38.2174=38.217  USD a + 15/100a = 293 \ \\ a = 293 / (1+0.15) = \dfrac{ 5860 }{ 23 } \doteq 254.7826 \ USD \ \\ \ \\ x = 293 - a = 293 - 254.7826 = \dfrac{ 879 }{ 23 } \doteq 38.2174 = 38.217 \ \text{ USD }
